To view the LAB color values of an image (instead of the RGB values), in Develop Module, Control -click (Mac) | Right Mouse -click (Win) on the Histogram and choose Show Lab Color Values. Then, position your cursor over the image preview and the values will be displayed as a LAB color readout.

For me, the most difficult thing about Photoshop is matching what I see on my screen to what my lab prints. Since I love adding creative effects, I often don’t get what I see. Yes, I calibrate,etc. but results are not always consistent. Getting accurate colors are the most frustrating thing about digital. Would love to see a mode that automatically gives LAB colors or at least the ability to roll mouse over image to see how the colors will print out.
